This is both good (specifying explicitly what is this change about and what it
is not about) and bad...
Since the CI system is not part of this change, we cannot say this change is not
complete if the CI system is not complete. So later we say we have rawhide
gating and we'll all be \o/ \o/ \o/ yet nobody will care that the CI is
unfortunately:
* not locally reproducible https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/4
* only working on on x86_64 https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/16
* unreadable https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/2
* unreliable (I file 1.75 issues per month on average)
* understaffed (my personal observation)
* tedious to start using (we focus on standards instead of UX)
* untested (the (sometimes fatal) issues I face go unnoticed until I'm hit)
My concern is that the CI experience still feels a bit rough and I'd rather see
us focusing on making it better. This can of course be done in parallel with
this change, yet I feel that we are building this on water.
Note that I don't blame the CI people, they are very helpful and great to work
with, they just don't have time/resources/people.
